Dark at the Crossing

Haris Abadi is a man in search of a cause. An Iraqi who received US citizenship in exchange for translating during the war, he and his sister relocate to Michigan. His sister graduates university and becomes engaged, while Haris works menial jobs and grows increasingly restless. Instead of attending his sister`s wedding, he flies to Gaziantep to join the Free Army`s fight against Bashar al-Assad. But he`s caught and robbed trying to enter Syria, and is taken in by a refugee couple Amir, a former revolutionary, and Daphne, a sophisticated woman haunted by grief. After discovering they had to flee Syria without their young daughter and that Daphne is desperate to return, Haris`s choices become ever more wrenching: Whose side is he really on? Is he a true radical or simply an idealist? What is he really searching for? Dark at the Crossing is a trenchantly observed novel of raw urgency and compassion that explores loss, second chances, and why we choose to believe.
